Obesity is recognized as one of the top ten chronic diseases identified by the World Health Organization (WTO). Over a decade of research has shown that obesity can lead to various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, liver cancer, type 2 diabetes and other cancers. The World Obesity Map, released by the World Obesity Federation (WOF), indicates that in 2020, approximately 14% of the global population was classified as obese, and this figure is projected to rise to 24% by 2035.
To achieve a healthier weight, many obese people have explored various methods, among which ketogenic diet is a popular choice.
What is ketogenic diet (keto diet)?
The keto diet, short for ketogenic diet, is a low-carb, high-fat diet. It was initially used to treat epilepsy but has gained popularity in recent years as a weight-loss and metabolic health improvement strategy. The main principle of this diet is to replace carbohydrates with fat. By consuming minimal glucose and relying on fat as the primary energy source, the body enters a state of ketosis. During ketosis, fats are broken down into fatty acids, and free fatty acids are released and then converted into ketones through beta-oxidation by the liver.
However, the keto diet can cause nutrient deficiencies or disorder and come with certain side effects, known as the keto flu. (“Keto flu” symptoms may include fatigue, headache, brain fog, irritability, nausea, dizziness, muscle cramps, constipation and difficulty sleeping. These symptoms typically arise within the first few days or weeks of starting a low-carbohydrate, high-fat ketogenic diet. ) To reduce these side effects, the use of keto supplements has become increasingly popular within the keto community.
What is Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB)?
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), synthesized from fatty acids, is one of three ketone bodies and serves as an efficient and clean energy source for the body and brain.
Harre Nutra is the first company to commercialize beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and promote the use of exogenous beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) as an alternative to the ketogenic diet.
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) supplementation offers several benefits on weight loss:
Facilitates rapid achievement of ketosis: BHB supplementation can raise blood ketone levels, helping individuals reach a state of ketosis more quickly.
Reduces keto flu symptoms: Keto flu refers to the temporary side effects some people might experience when transitioning to a ketogenic diet. BHB supplementation has been found to alleviate these symptoms, making the transition smoother.
Increases capacity to oxidize fatty acids: BHB can enhance the body's ability to use stored fat as an energy source. This can aid weight loss and improve body composition by promoting fat burning and supporting overall metabolic efficiency.
Assists in weight management and appetite adaptation: BHB supplementation has been associated with appetite control, helping individuals manage their calorie intake and adhere to a weight loss regimen.
In addition to weight loss benefits, Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) offers additional features:
Enhances cognitive function and reduces anxiety: BHB has been shown to have neuroprotective effects, supporting brain health and cognitive function. It can provide a clean and efficient fuel source for the brain, which may improve mental clarity, focus, and overall cognitive performance, even lessen anxiety. BHB also activates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory pathways in the brain.
Boosts exercise endurance performance: BHB can serve as an alternative fuel source during exercise, providing sustained energy and potentially improving endurance performance.
Decreases lactate levels and limits muscle breakdown: BHB has been shown to reduce lactate levels, helping decrease muscle soreness and delay fatigue during exercise.
Binds to minerals and boosts the body's electrolytes: BHB has the ability to bind to certain minerals, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium. This can help maintain electrolyte balance in the body, which is crucial for proper hydration, muscle function, nerve signaling, and overall cellular health.

About Harre Nutra:
Harre Nutra, renowned for innovating ketone supplement initially, also holds the exclusive manufacturing rights of several ingredients. As a leading biotech corporation, it dominates the global market with the largest share of beta-alanine. Throughout the years, Harre Nutra has been consistently engaged in groundbreaking research on a wide range of ingredients across various categories. Some notable examples include:
Incrediburn™, beta-aminoisobutyric acid (L-BAIBA), is their exclusive product with a unique technology process (patent ZL201810907170.6). L-BAIBA is hailed as the “exercise factor” that can brown the white adipose tissue and amplify exercise performance.
Thermofuel™ Grains of Paradise Extract (GP), is extracted from Aframomum Melegueta, preserving all bio-active compounds, particularly 6-paradol, 6-gingerol, and 6-shogaol. It is important to note that GP exhibits a synergistic effect when combined with L-BAIBA. By working together, these two ingredients can provide benefits in promoting a higher metabolic rate and aiding in the burning of stored fat. The combination of GP and L-BAIBA can support the body by increasing energy expenditure, accelerating fat metabolism, and ultimately assisting individuals in achieving their weight loss goals.
As an expert in the ingredient industry, Harre Nutra is dedicated to working with everyone to create a brighter future for the world. If you have any inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact Foregen Nutra, which is the rebrand of Harre Nutra.
